Thanks; I knew there was a third prohibition but I couldn't remember what it was. Post-workout attire, sweaty and stinky, should definitely be banned!
I agree that the lounge was overused and the girls were sweet. It probably didn't help that there's no keycard access on the elevator and more than half the time they propped the lounge door open.

I was at the JW in SF and some Self-Important Woman was screaming, and I mean screaming, at some underling on the phone. Apparently, Underling had somehow displeased SIW and she was not going to tolerate it. All the SIW succeeded in doing was making herself look like a vile harpy. When her language started to get ugly, even though I was alone, I decided, for the sake of the children present, it was time to ask SIW to leave. As I headed across the lounge to speak with her, she saw me coming and quickly scooted out into the lobby (this was when the lounge was off the lobby, behind the bar). But none of the staff did anything.
I do computer support, and my job requires me to be on-call in the early mornings. I get dressed, scoot down to the lounge, grab some coffee, a bagel, and a yogurt, and head back to my room in case the phone rings. Sitting there in the lounge, yakking on the phone, taking calls just seems rude to me. Besides, back in my room, I can take off my clothes and put on my robe

Personally, I like to see this sign to be placed on all c-lounges.

I had to listen to business meetings at the DTW-Marriott and ORD-Ren Suites this week. As I left the latter, I complained to the host. As for the DTW lounge, I sent an email to the GM letting him know my feelings. He responded back explaining they will soon be putting a locking door on the lounge and after that, they will be enforcing the meeting policy.

I too have a 9 yr old who knows how to behave in a CL. The funny part is when we (my wife, son, and I) get all the dirty looks from the bald-headed "im better then you" types in the CL. I am only 31, and travel 5 days a week, spending 90% of my time in FS hotels..usually Marriotts! Its great to see them, and to hear others telling the world "im a plat member". Sometimes I would like to whip out my PP card to show them what status is REALLY like!!!

... I have two very well behaved young daughters. And, it is astounding to watch the number of glares and comments from self-important junior pseudo-executives because I have my kids in the C-lounge. Although they say virtually nothing. And I have been flamed on this forum many times for having kids in the C-lounge by the junior pseudo-executives for bringing my kids to the C-lounge.

Yes, it's always someone else's child who is the problem, isn't it?
Don't worry, it's just another symptom of inexperience. You'll grow out of it.
